“Bonnie” is taken from Dilettante‘s self-titled debut album, out in May 2022.
Formerly band leaders of Toronto’s For Jane, Natalie Panacci and Julia Wittmann are back with a new quintet, Dilettante (meaning “amateurs of the arts” if you also like to play scrabble). Although their self-titled debut effort is dubbed as an “amateur” project, the first single, “Bonnie,” is a real tour de force. “You’re a dreamboat into my heart,” they sing in double harmony over glimmering synths and a timeless groove. A dancey ballad about a devouring love story, this is a massive introduction card.
